"This is the first time in a long time you have called him CEO Li instead of the usual Feng you always called him," Yang Zi joked, not wanting to answer her question.

"You are right. I am used to calling him Feng but despite our relationship he is still my boss so I should address him like one," Wen Min replied pretending as if she had forgotten her question. She knew Yang Zi had the habit of invading a discussion she doesn't want to talk about by asking a question that wasn't related to the discussion, so she was only playing along, waiting for the perfect time to strike again.

​​

"You said last time that you will tell me what your relationship with him is but you never did, so can you tell me now?" Yang Zi asked. She wasn't curious about Wen Min's relationship with Yifeng; she just wanted to use it as a cover-up. Her best friend is a computer wizard, so she would have known how Wen Min was related to the Li's family if she was curious about them.

"Oh, about that....," Wen Min trailed staring at her. "That topic isn't urgent at the moment so how about you answer my question first because that question needs an urgent answer," Wen Min said smiling sheepishly at her.

"Ok, to answer your question our relationship is still as awkward as ever. I don't know whether I have said this before, but he partially ignores me. Even when he asked me to bring him a file or come to his office to get something, his gaze never leaves the documents on his table until I leave his office. I am confused," Yang Zi complained. She has been doing some thinking to see what she did wrong that made Yifeng's attitude towards her changed drastically, but she couldn't pinpoint what she did wrong. She has been having sleepless nights over this when she noticed this sudden change in him.

"The Feng I saw in the resort the night you fell ill would never treat you like this without a valid reason because he likes you very much. I am sure something must have gone wrong somewhere," Wen Min replied. The Feng that almost murdered her in the resort just because of Yang Zi would suddenly stop talking to her without a reason? Never! It wasn't in his character to do such a thing.

"Nothing that I know of happened between us. That day we talked like we normally did in the car before he dropped me off at the hospital, only to resume work the next day and meet a different him. It came as a surprise to me because I never expected this," Yang Zi narrated.

"If you think you didn't say or do anything to hurt him, then have you confronted him about this?" Wen Min asked the obvious question. She knew the problem would have been resolved long ago if Yang Zi had spoken to Yifeng about his sudden change towards her. The problem wouldn't have escalated to this point.

"No, I couldn't bring myself to ask him about it. Even though I wanted to, I don't even know how to bring up the topic because of how weird he is acting," Yang Zi said honestly.

"Then find some time to talk to him. You can invite him out for a cup of coffee or dinner. I am certain Feng will not reject you, no matter how angry he is. You've got this," Wen Min tried to cheer her up.

"Are you sure of this?" Yang Zi asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I am certain about this. Try it if you don't believe me," Wen Min said confidently.

"How come you are always so sure that Yifeng will not reject me? You are not in his heart to know how he feels," Yang Zi asked, still feeling suspicious about Wen Min's suggestion.

"Because I saw his sincerity towards you that chilly night in the resort. Did I tell you that Yifeng would have made me handicap all my life that day in the resort because of you?" Wen Min asked seriously. Yang Zi shook her head to tell her she didn't know what she was talking about.

Wen Min explained what she meant. Yang Zi could not hold back from smiling when she heard the funny narration from Wen Min.

"Because of his threats back then, I dread going close to Feng when he is angry. I never knew he had that side of him until I witnessed it that night. He is scary," Wen Min said, getting goosebumps when she recalled Yifeng's deadly gaze back then.

"I know you for your fearlessness so I find it hard to believe that you are afraid of him," Yang Zi said smiling.

"That is why I always tell you that even though Yifeng cut all his employee's salary for three months, you are an exception. You might think I am saying this because he asked me to say it or because I know him very well, but that is not true," Wen Min said sincerely. "I am saying this because I know Feng has found the lady who was specifically made for him. I have known him for a long time so I know the kind of lifestyle he has lived but for the first time, I saw his feelings in his eyes whenever he spoke to you," Wen Min became a love expert overnight.

"You are just like my mum. You both are love experts and there is one thing I have realised about love experts. They read too much into everything but whether or not you are telling the truth, I will try to talk with him about it because I am not comfortable working in this type of environment," Yang Zi said seriously.

"You are not comfortable working in this type of environment?" Wen Min asked rhetorically, giving Yang Zi suspicious glances. "Wasn't your relationship with Feng always like this for the first three months you started working for him, so why are you saying you are not comfortable with your current relationship?" Wen Min asked in awe of Yang Zi. Who in the office did not know CEO Li's cat and dog fight with his secretary back then?

"You can't compare that time to now. We never liked each back then because of our difference in lifestyle and personality. We didn't get to know each other very well, unlike now," Yang Zi said, sipping her coffee.

"What makes the difference now?" Wen Min asked rhetorically. "Have you come to like him or has your opinion of him changed because you know him better?" Wen Min asked curiously trying to sound Yang Zi out but Yang Zi knew where Wen Min was heading at.

"Let's not talk about him, but let's talk about what you are going to do for Valentine's day," Yang Zi said. Wen Min knew very well that she didn't want to talk about her misunderstanding with Yifeng anymore, that was why she changed their discussion.

"I am not doing anything much tomorrow. I will just come to work like every other day. As you know I don't have a boyfriend or any male admirers. I am a loner in the Company," Wen Min said pitifully.

"Why are you a loner when you have me or am I no longer your friend plus your idol too?" Yang Zi asked playfully. The two friends talked until lunchtime was over. They went back to the office afterwards. Work went smoothly, but Yang Zi could not bring herself to talk to Yifeng about what was bothering her no matter how hard she tried. Work ended without her being able to confront Yifeng. She went to her mum's Mansion to spend the night since Yang Mi threatened to starve herself if she did not come. They all had dinner and afterwards watched some movie for about two hours before they retired to bed. Spoiled Yang Mi insisted on sleeping with Yang Zi. She was afraid that Yang Zi might leave for work the next day before she woke up.

Yang Zi was surprised to hear an alarm ring when it was time for her to wake up.

"Mi Er sets an alarm? Why did she do this" Yang Zi thought, staring at the sleeping Yang Mi. She looks so adorable while sleeping.

She went into her bathroom to wash up and without wasting much time she came out of the bathroom tying a white towel. She used another towel to wipe her wet hair. When she got closer to her bed she was shocked to see that Yang Mi was not there. The towel in her hands fell at the realisation of this. She turned on the lights to check whether she had rolled down the floor, but she didn't see anyone lying on the floor. Yang Zi became a bit scared. She wouldn't have to fret if Yang Mi was awake when she left, but what scares her most was that Yang Mi was fast asleep when she entered the bathroom.
